HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC)
Automatic Air Conditioning System
General Description
Using a variety of sensors, this automatic air conditioner
accurately senses outside air temperature, solar
radiation quantity, evaporator's blowing temperature, and
interior temperature, then enters these data to the
automatic air conditioner control unit (equipped with the
built-in micro-computer). The data provided to the control
unit enables to automatically control blow temperatureand blow air quantity, turn on or off the compressor and
switch the blow port as well as switching between the
fresh air intake and interior air circulation.
Resetting the automatic function allows you to switch to
the manual control mode.
The self-diagnoisis function of the automatic air
conditioner control unit (with the built-in micro-computer)
allows the unit to access and diagnose a failed part easier
and quicker.

Stores a History DTC on the
first trip with a fail


Does not store a Freeze Frame

Stores Fail Record when test fails

Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails
IMPORTANT:Only four Fail Records can be stored.
Each Fail Record is for a different DTC. It is possible that
there will not be Fail Records for every DTC if multiple
DTCs are set.
Special Cases of Type B Diagnostic Tests
Unique to the misfire diagnostic, the Diagnostic Executive
has the capability of alerting the vehicle operator to
potentially damaging levels of misfire. If a misfire
condition exists that could potentially damage the
catalytic converter as a result of high misfire levels, the
Diagnostic Executive will command the MIL to ªflashº at a
rate of once per second during those the time that the
catalyst damaging misfire condition is present.
Fuel trim and misfire are special cases of
Type B
diagnostics. Each time a fuel trim or misfire malfunction is
detected, engine load, engine speed, and engine coolant
temperature are recorded.
When the ignition is turned off, the last reported set of
conditions remain stored. During subsequent ignition
cycles, the stored conditions are used as reference for
similar conditions. If a malfunction occurs during two
consecutive trips, the Diagnostic Executive treats the
failure as a normal
Type B diagnostic, and does not use
the stored conditions. However, if a malfunction occurs
on two non-consecutive trips, the stored conditions are
compared with the current conditions. The MIL will then
illuminate under the following conditions:

When the engine load conditions are within 10% of
the previous test that failed.

Engine speed is within 375 rpm, of the previous test
that failed.

Engine coolant temperature is in the same range as
the previous test that failed.Storing and Erasing Freeze Frame Data and Failure
Records
Government regulations require that engine operating
conditions be captured whenever the MIL is illuminated.
The data captured is called Freeze Frame data. The
Freeze Frame data is very similar to a single record of
operating conditions. Whenever the MIL is illuminated,
the corresponding record of operating conditions is
recorded to the Freeze Frame buffer.
Freeze Frame data can only be overwritten with data
associated with a misfire or fuel trim malfunction. Data
from these faults take precedence over data associated
with any other fault. The Freeze Frame data will not be
erased unless the associated history DTC is cleared.
Each time a diagnostic test reports a failure, the current
engine operating conditions are recorded in the
Failure
Records
buffer. A subsequent failure will update the
recorded operating conditions. The following operating
conditions for the diagnostic test which failed
typically
include the following parameters:

Air Fuel Ratio

Air Flow Rate

Fuel Trim

Engine Speed

Engine Load

Engine Coolant Temperature

Vehicle Speed

TP Angle

AP Angle

MAP/BARO

Injector Base Pulse Width

Loop Status
Intermittent Malfunction Indicator Lamp
In the case of an ªintermittentº fault, the MIL (ªCheck
Engineº lamp) may illuminate and then (after three trips)
go ªOFFº. However, the corresponding diagnostic trouble
code will be stored in memory. When unexpected
diagnostic trouble codes appear, check for an intermittent
malfunction.
A diagnostic trouble code may reset. Consult the
ªDiagnostic Aidsº associated with the diagnostic trouble
code. A physical inspection of the applicable sub-system
most often will resolve the problem.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The provision for communication with the control module
is the Data Link Connector (DLC). It is located at the
lower left of the instrument panel behind a small square
cover. The DLC is used to connect to the Tech 2 Scan
Tool. Some common uses of the Tech 2 are listed below:

6E±39
6VE1 3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS

Identifying stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

Clearing DTCs.

Performing output control tests.

Reading serial data.
TS24064
Decimal/Binary/Hexadecimal Conversions
Beginning in 1996, Federal Regulations require that all
auto manufacturers selling vehicles in the United States
provide Scan Tool manufacturers with software
information to display vehicle operating parameters. All
Scan Tool manufacturers will display a variety of vehicle
information which will aid in repairing the vehicle. Some
Scan Tools will display encoded messages which will aid
in determining the nature of the concern. The method of
encoding involves the use of a two additional numbering
systems: Binary and Hexadecimal.
The binary number system has a base of two numbers.
Each digit is either a 0 or a 1. A binary number is an eight
digit number and is read from right to left. Each digit has a
position number with the farthest right being the 0 position
and the farthest left being the 7 position. The 0 position,
when displayed by a 1, indicates 1 in decimal. Each
position to the left is double the previous position and
added to any other position values marked as a 1.
A hexadecimal system is composed of 16 different alpha
numeric characters. The alpha numeric characters used
are numbers 0 through 9 and letters A through F. The
hexadecimal system is the most natural and common
approach for Scan Tool manufacturers to display data
represented by binary numbers and digital code.
Verifying Vehicle Repair
Verification of vehicle repair will be more comprehensive
for vehicles with OBD II system diagnostic. Following a
repair, the technician should perform the following steps:
1. Review and record the Fail Records and/or Freeze
Frame data for the DTC which has been diagnosed
(Freeze Frame data will only be stored for an A or B
type diagnostic and only if the MIL has been
requested).
2. Clear DTC(s).
3. Operate the vehicle within conditions noted in the Fail
Records and/or Freeze Frame data.
4. Monitor the DTC status information for the DTC which
has been diagnosed until the diagnostic test
associated with that DTC runs.
Following these steps are very important in verifying
repairs on OBD ll systems. Failure to follow these steps
could result in unnecessary repairs.
Reading Diagnostic Trouble Codes Using
The Tech 2 Scan Tool
The procedure for reading diagnostic trouble code(s) is to
use a diagnostic Scan Tool. When reading DTC(s), follow
instructions supplied by tool manufacturer.
Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
IMPORTANT:Do not clear DTCs unless directed to do
so by the service information provided for each diagnostic
procedure. When DTCs are cleared, the Freeze Frame
and Failure Record data which may help diagnose an
intermittent fault will also be erased from memory.
If the fault that caused the DTC to be stored into memory
has been corrected, the Diagnostic Executive will begin to
count the ªwarm-upº cycles with no further faults
detected, the DTC will automatically be cleared from the
PCM memory.
To clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), use the
diagnostic Scan Tool ªclear DTCsº or ªclear informationº
function. When clearing DTCs follow instructions
supplied by the tool manufacturer.
When a Scan Tool is not available, DTCs can also be
cleared by disconnecting
one of the following sources for
at least thirty (30) seconds.
NOTE: To prevent system damage, the ignition key must
be ªOFFº when disconnecting or reconnecting battery
power.

The power source to the control module. Examples:
fuse, pigtail at battery PCM connectors, etc.

The negative battery cable. (Disconnecting the
negative battery cable will result in the loss of other
on-board memory data, such as preset radio tuning).

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
Diagnosis
An EGR flow check diagnosis of the linear EGR system is
covered by DTC P0401. Pintle position error diagnosis is
covered by DTC P0402, P0404, P1404, P0405, P0406. If
EGR diagnostic trouble codes P0401 and/or P0402,
P0404, P1404, P0405, P0406 are encountered, refer to
the DTC charts.
Engine Tech 2 Data Definitions and
Ranges
A/C CLUTCH ± Tech 2 Displays ON or OFF ±
Indicates whether the PCM has commanded the A/C
clutch ON. Used in A/C system diagnostic.
A/C REQUEST Ð Tech 2 Displays YES or NO Ð
Indicates the state of the A/C request input circuit from the
HVAC controls. The PCM uses the A/C request signal to
determine whether A/C compressor operation is being
requested.
AIR/FUEL RATIO Ð Tech 2 Range 0.0-25.5 Ð
Air/fuel ratio indicates the PCM commanded value. In
closed loop, the air/fuel ratio should normally be
displayed around ª14.2-14.7º. A lower air/fuel ratio
indicates a richer commanded mixture, which may be
seen during power enrichment or TWC protection modes.
A higher air/fuel ratio indicates a leaner commanded
mixture. This can be seen during deceleration fuel mode.
AP1 ÐTech 2 Range 0%-100% Ð
AP (accelerator pedal) angle is computed by the PCM
from the AP sensor voltage. AP angle should display
ª13%º at idle and ª85-89%º at wide open throttle.
AP2 ÐTech 2 Range 0%-100% Ð
AP (accelerator pedal) angle is computed by the PCM
from the AP sensor voltage. AP angle should display
ª85-89%º at idle and ª11-15%º at wide open throttle.
AP3 ÐTech 2 Range 0%-100% Ð
AP (accelerator pedal) angle is computed by the PCM
from the AP sensor voltage. AP angle should display
ª85-89%º at idle and ª32-36%º at wide open throttle.
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE Ð Tech 2 Range 10-105
kPa/0.00-5.00 Volts Ð
The barometric pressure reading is determined from the
MAP sensor signal monitored during key up and wide
open throttle (WOT) conditions. The barometric pressure
is used to compensate for altitude differences and is
normally displayed around ª61-104º depending on
altitude and barometric pressure.
CHECK TRANS LAMP Ð AUTO TRANSMISSION Ð
Indicates the need to check for a DTC with the Tech 2
when the lamp is flashing 0.2 seconds ON and 0.2
seconds OFF.
DESIRED EGR POS. Ð Tech 2 Range 0%-100% Ð
Represents the EGR pintle position that the PCM is
commanding.
DESIRED IDLE Ð Tech 2 Range 0-3187 RPM Ð
The idle speed that the PCM is commanding. The PCM
will compensate for various engine loads based on engine
coolant temperature, to keep the engine at the desired
speed.ECT Ð (Engine Coolant Temperature) Tech 2
Range ±40
C to 151
C (±40
F to 304
F) Ð
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is mounted in the
coolant stream and sends engine temperature
information to the PCM. The PCM applies 5 volts to the
ECT sensor circuit. The sensor is a thermistor which
changes internal resistance as temperature changes.
When the sensor is cold (high resistance), the PCM
monitors a high signal voltage and interprets that as a cold
engine. As the sensor warms (decreasing resistance),
the voltage signal will decrease and the PCM will interpret
the lower voltage as a warm engine.
EGR DUTY CYCLE Ð Tech 2 Range 0%-100% Ð
Represents the EGR valve driver PWM signal from the
PCM. A duty cycle of 0% indicates that no EGR flow is
being commanded; a 100% duty cycle indicates
maximum EGR flow commanded.
EGR FEEDBACK Ð Tech 2 Range 0.00-5.00 Volts Ð
Indicates the EGR pintle position sensor signal voltage
being monitored by the PCM. A low voltage indicates a
fully extended pintle (closed valve); a voltage near 5 volts
indicates a retracted pintle (open valve).
ENGINE LOAD Ð Tech 2 Range 0%-100% Ð
Engine load is calculated by the PCM from engine speed
and MAF sensor readings. Engine load should increase
with an increase in RPM or air flow.
ENGINE RUN TIME Ð Tech 2 Range
00:00:00-99:99:99 Hrs:Min:Sec Ð
Indicates the time elapsed since the engine was started.
If the engine is stopped, engine run time will be reset to
00:00:00.
ENGINE SPEED Ð Range 0-9999 RPM Ð
Engine speed is computed by the PCM from the 58X
reference input. It should remain close to desired idle
under various engine loads with engine idling.
EVAP PURGE PWM Ð Tech 2 Range 0%-100% Ð
Represents the PCM commanded PWM duty cycle of the
EVAP purge solenoid valve. ª0%º displayed indicates no
purge; ª100%º displayed indicates full purge.
FUEL PUMP Ð Tech 2 Displays ON or OFF Ð
Indicates the PCM commanded state of the fuel pump
relay driver circuit.
HO2S BANK 1, SEN. 1
Ð Tech 2 Range 0-1132 mV Ð
Represents the fuel control exhaust oxygen sensor
output voltage. Should fluctuate constantly within a range
between 10 mV (lean exhaust) and 1000 mV (rich
exhaust) while operating in closed loop.
HO2S BANK 1, SEN. 2
Ð Tech 2 Range 0-1000mV Ð
Monitors the exhaust oxygen sensor output voltage. The
PCM monitors the operating efficiency of catalytic
converter by comparing the output voltages of sensor 1
and sensor 2 in this bank. If the catalytic converter is
operating efficiently, the output voltage of sensor 1 will
give a greater fluctuation than that of sensor 2. If the
PCM detects an abnormal level of voltage fluctuation
from sensor 2, a DTC P0420 will be set, indicating that the
catalytic converter for this bank is no longer operating
efficiently.
